The White County Sheriff's Office has handled two separate incidents of vehicle theft in the county, according to sheriff's office incident reports.

Amanda J. Snelling, 20, Carmi, reported Tuesday to the sheriff's office her husband, 18-year-old Matthew R. Snelling, was missing, and had left in a tan 1992 Ford Ranger that belonged to Lisa M. Shelton, 32, Carmi.

The report said Snelling had left his James Avenue residence around 10 a.m. with the pickup borrowed from Shelton. As of 3 p.m., he had failed to return home. The report indicated Snelling might be en route to Clarksville, Tenn., where he has friends and relatives.

The truck was described as a tan 1992 Ford Ranger pickup with Illinois registration 29337W. A formal complaint for theft was signed by Shelton.

Deputies received a tip around 10:40 a.m. Tuesday that a vehicle had been abandoned near Brown's Pond near Maunie. Deputies arrived and found white Chrysler Voyager minivan at the location.

A check of the license plate number revealed it had been stolen from a location in Enfield and the theft was reported to Illinois State Police Sunday by the vehicle's owner, Joel Floyd.

The vehicle was towed and the rest of the investigation was turned over to ISP.
